Funeral wake catering in Middleton, carved to order
A wake in Middleton is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes, and we are often booked for pub and club wakes and gatherings after a cremation.
Around Middleton, wakes are frequently at the village hall, a pub or home. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Autumn and winter afternoons in Middleton get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
